English (Thayer)
(ίδος, ἡ (from Homer down), a locust, particularly that species which especially infests oriental countries, stripping fields and trees. Numberless swarms of them almost every spring are carried by the wind from Arabia into Palestine, and having devastated that country migrate to regions farther north, until they perish by falling into the sea. The Orientals are accustomed to feed upon locusts, either raw or roasted and seasoned with salt (or prepared in other ways), and the Israelites also (according to Winer s RWB under the word Heuschrecken; Furrer in Schenkel iii., p. 78f; (BB. DD., Smith's Bible Dictionary, Locust under the word; Tristram, Nat. Hist. of the Bible, p. 313ff)): Revelation 9:2,5f, 8-12; see Dusterdieck at the passage.

Frisk Etymological English
-ίδος
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: grasshopper (Il.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Hardly to κρίζω creak (Strömberg, Wortstud. 15ff), which leaves the ἀ- unexplained. Winter Prothet. Vokal 15 connected κέρκα ἀκρίς H. Fur. 127 accepts this, comparing γέλγις / ἄγλις. His further comparison with ἄχηρον ἀκρίδα H. (< *ἀχερδον, Bechtel Dial. 2, 671) is less convincing. A substr. word for a grasshopper is only to be expected.
Middle Liddell
a locust, Il.
